How it was worked out

Each car picks up the riders who are on its way, in the order that keeps everyone's time in the car short, and gets them there by the time practice starts. The way back is planned on its own, so drop-offs need not mirror the pickups.

Lines on the map join the stops directly. For real directions, each car has a Google Maps link.
